βAwake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.β
β (Ephesians 5:8β14, NKJV)
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:
βAwake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.β
β (Ephesians 5:8β14, NKJV)
Christ is risen as the first fruit we are baptized into Him and follow that Resurrection
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christβs at His coming.
